Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Reinigen von Gegenständen gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a method for cleaning objects according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren ist bekannt aus der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung P 43 09 096.A generic method is known from the unpublished German patent application P 43 09 096.
Zu reinigende Gegenstände, im vorliegenden Falle insbesondere solche aus Stahl, werden in einem Reinigungsbad durch Eintauchen, gegebenenfalls mit Ultraschallunterstützung, einem Reinigungsvorgang unterzogen, und anschließend in einem ersten wäßrigen Spülbad vom Reinigungsbad befreit. Wegen der in das erste Spülbad eingeschleppten Verunreinigungen ist zur einwandfreien Spülung ein zweites Spülbad empfehlenswert, an das sich ein Trocknungsvorgang anschließt.Objects to be cleaned, especially those made of steel in the present case, are subjected to a cleaning process in a cleaning bath by immersion, optionally with ultrasound assistance, and are then freed from the cleaning bath in a first aqueous rinsing bath. Because of the impurities introduced into the first rinsing bath, a second rinsing bath is recommended for perfect rinsing, which is followed by a drying process.
Insbesondere bei Stahlgegenständen, aber auch bei anderen Metallen wie z.B. Aluminium besteht aufgrund der Wasserreste auf dem Material während des Trocknungsvorganges die Gefahr eines Anfluges von Korrosion.Especially with steel objects, but also with other metals such as Due to the water residues on the material during the drying process, aluminum is at risk of corrosion.
Diese Korrosion erweist sich insbesondere dann als problematisch, wenn die getrockneten Gegenstände weiterverarbeitet werden sollen, beispielsweise indem eine Beschichtung vorgesehen werden soll.This corrosion proves to be particularly problematic when the dried objects are to be processed further, for example by providing a coating.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, das Risiko einer Korrosion herabzusetzen.The problem underlying the present invention is to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1.The object is achieved by a method according to claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dem letzten Spülbad einen Zusatz eines Gemisches aus Propylenglykolmethylether und Propylenglykolether hinzuzugeben. Überraschenderweise hat sich erwiesen, daß unter einem Zusatz eines derartigen Glycoläthergemisches dieser angegebenen Zusammensetzung das Abfließverhalten des Wassers von den aus dem Wasser entnommenen Gegenständen erheblich verbessert, das Wasser fließt vorhangartig ab. Zugleich bildet sich offensichtlich ein filmartiger Überzug, der für einen begrenzten Zeitraum von etwa 24 Stunden einen wirksamen Schutz gegen Oxidation und dementsprechende Korrosion bietet.According to the invention, an addition of a mixture of propylene glycol methyl ether and propylene glycol ether is added to the last rinsing bath. Surprisingly, it has been found that the addition of such a glycol ether mixture to this composition improves the outflow behavior of the water from the objects removed from the water, and the water flows out like a curtain. At the same time, a film-like coating is evidently formed, which offers effective protection against oxidation and corresponding corrosion for a limited period of about 24 hours.
Das letzte Spülbad besteht, um Fleckenbildung zu verhindern, aus voll entsalztem Wasser (VE-Wasser). Das erwähnte Glykoläthergemisch wird in einer Konzentration von etwa 10 Gewichtsprozent bis 50 Gewichtsprozent dem VE-Wasser zugesetzt.The last rinsing bath consists of deionized water (deionized water) to prevent staining. The glycol ether mixture mentioned is added to the deionized water in a concentration of about 10 percent by weight to 50 percent by weight.
Als besonders geeignet haben sich als Propylenglykolmethylether ein Propylenglykolmonoethylether der Formel
und als Propylenglykolether ein Propylenglykol-n-Butylether der Formel
erwiesen.A propylene glycol monoethyl ether of the formula has proven to be particularly suitable as propylene glycol methyl ether
and as propylene glycol ether a propylene glycol n-butyl ether of the formula
proven.
Zu reinigende Metallteile aus Stahl werden in einem Reinigungsbad aus Glykoläthern behandelt und anschließend in einem ersten wäßrigen Bad von den Rückständen des Reinigungsbades gesäubert. Um eine vollständige Entfernung der Reinigungsbadrückstände, auch der, die in das erste Spülbad verschleppt wurden, zu erzielen, werden die Teile in einem zweiten Bad aus voll entsalztem Wasser gespült und anschließend in einem Warmluftstrom getrocknet. Die Trocknungszeit beträgt etwa drei Minuten, sie ist stark von der Temperatur des Warmluftstromes und der Luftgeschwindigkeit abhängig.Metal parts to be cleaned made of steel are treated in a glycol ether cleaning bath and then cleaned of the residues of the cleaning bath in a first aqueous bath. In order to achieve complete removal of the cleaning bath residues, including those that were carried over into the first rinsing bath, the parts are rinsed in a second bath from demineralized water and then dried in a hot air stream. The drying time is about three minutes, it is strongly dependent on the temperature of the warm air flow and the air speed.
Bereits unmittelbar nach der Trocknung ist mit bloßem Auge ein Anflug von Rost erkennbar.A hint of rust can be seen with the naked eye immediately after drying.
Die gleichen Metallteile wie in Beispiel 1 werden in dem gleichen Reinigungsbad behandelt und ebenfalls im ersten Spülbad von den Rückständen gesäubert. Dem zweiten Spülbad jedoch ist ein Gemisch von Propylenglykolmonoethylether der Formel
und Propylenglykol-n-Butylether der Formel
in Anteilen von 80 Gew.% Propylenglykolmonoethylether und 20 Gew.% Propylenglykol-n-Butylether zugesetzt.The same metal parts as in Example 1 are treated in the same cleaning bath and the residues are also cleaned in the first rinsing bath. The second rinsing bath however, is a mixture of propylene glycol monoethyl ether of the formula
and propylene glycol n-butyl ether of the formula
in proportions of 80% by weight of propylene glycol monoethyl ether and 20% by weight of propylene glycol n-butyl ether.
Durch ein vorhangartiges Ablaufen des Spülbades von den nach dem Spülen entnommenen Gegenständen konnte die Trocknungszeit um 50 % reduziert werden. Auch nach 24 Stunden zeigte sich auch bei sorgfältiger Prüfung immer noch kein Korrosionsanflug, innerhalb dieser Zeit konnten somit die getrockneten Teile ohne weitere Schutzmaßnahmen weiterverarbeitet, z.B. beschichtet werden.The drying time could be reduced by 50% by draining the rinsing bath from the items removed after rinsing. Even after 24 hours, even with careful inspection, there was still no corrosion, within this time the dried parts could be processed without further protective measures, e.g. be coated.
